Hi @notkevinjohn, thanks for you bug report!

We just released the build snapshot 20191021.1 in the release page, that includes board detection bugfixing.

Can you try the new release and check if your issue is solved?

Confirmed that this snapshot resolves the issue I documented.

Should be fixed by https://github.com/arduino/arduino-pro-ide/releases/tag/v0.0.2-alpha.preview in even a better way.
